Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 128

Eden was a social butterfly with a knack for managing multiple social circles. In no time, word got around that out of sheer jealousy, and everyone knew that Clara had pushed her own sister down the stairs, resulting in a miscarriage.

The Bradford and Ferguson families, who were deep into wedding preparations, suddenly found themselves the subject of scandalous whispers and laughter. Talk about a wedding crasher! No wonder they were fuming.

He'd been avoiding everyone for a week, and now with the loss of Simon's first child, things were worse.

Walter's anger was palpable, his face a stormy shade of gray. "Clara's nothing but trouble. Sort her out."

Clara had been the reason Dylan ended up in a wheelchair, and now she'd caused the death of Walter's great-grandchild. Walter wasn't going to let it slide. No one in the entire Capital would elude Walter's reach once he set his mind to it.
